Annulment vs Divorce

Annulment is a legal procedure for declaring a marriage null and void.

Annulment is usually retroactive and makes a marriage invalid from the beginning, while divorce is the legal termination of a valid marriage.

A void marriage is not legally valid from the beginning, while a voidable marriage is initially valid but can be annulled.
